What happened
The incident occurred when the aircraft experienced a critical mechanical issue during its flight. Specifically, an engine failure forced the plane to descend rapidly toward the ground. The aircraft ultimately impacted the terrain on Masirah Island. Due to the severity of the crash and the nature of the failure, there were no survivors among those on board. All four crew members were killed in the accident.
Findings
The primary factor leading to the loss of the aircraft was the mechanical malfunction of the engine. This failure compromised the aircraft's ability to maintain flight, resulting in an uncontrolled descent that ended in a fatal crash on the island.
